CF Montréal vs Vancouver Whitecaps

· Final

Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

CF Montréal host Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, CF Montréal collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses). Vancouver Whitecaps earned 10 points from 5 matches (3 wins, 1 draws and 1 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, CF Montréal have 1 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Vancouver Whitecaps have 1 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, CF Montréal average 0.69 xG and 1.77 xGA over 5 recent matches; Vancouver Whitecaps average 1.44 xG and 1.40 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places CF Montréal in position 29 and Vancouver Whitecaps in position 2. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

The database contains 3 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Post-match analysis

Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.

Vancouver Whitecaps won 2–0 away to CF Montréal. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.92 for CF Montréal and 1.83 for Vancouver Whitecaps. Vancouver Whitecaps generated the higher xG total. CF Montréal scored -0.92 goals relative to xG and Vancouver Whitecaps scored +0.17 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

CF Montréal registered 8 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 37.5%); Vancouver Whitecaps recorded 17 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 47.1%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (49.0%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
